Bubba Watson last top-10-seeded player at Match Play Championship

One day after Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods went home, more top seeds followed Friday in the Match Play Championship until Masters champion Bubba Watson was the only seeded player from the top 10 remaining at Dove Mountain in Marana, Ariz.

Watson, seeded No. 8, missed two straight putts from five feet that would have won the match before he finally put away Jim Furyk in 22 holes. It was the first time since this World Golf Championship began in 1999 that only one top-10 player was left after two rounds.

Luke Donald, the No. 3 seed who birdied his last two holes on Thursday to win his opening match, didn't know what hit him Friday.

Scott Piercy won the first three holes, and then holed out from 221 yards with a four-iron on the fifth hole and was on his way. He won, 7 and 6, to give Donald his worst loss in this event.

Fourth-seeded Louis Oosthuizen never led against Robert Garrigus, who closed him out on the 16th hole.

— Charles Howell III, who eliminated Woods on Thursday, faced Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano, who never lost a hole in a 6-and-5 win — after finishing his 1-up win over Francesco Molinari in the morning,. Howell didn't make a single birdie.

— Defending champion Hunter Mahan had an easy time with Richard Sterne to win his eighth straight match, and next faces the last player to beat him in this event — Martin Kaymer, who defeated Rafael Cabrera Bello of Spain.

Webb Simpson made a 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to beat Peter Hanson.

— Steve Stricker came out of retirement and knocked out Nick Watney on the 21st hole.
